Keep Drains Clear To Stop Mosquitoes from breeding

Aside from the gutter, another neglected part of the house is the sewage canal or waterways.

Similarly, drains are prone to collecting leaves and other trash which then blocks and retains stagnant water.

Because of these, it is also equally important to keep your drains clear and clean to prevent it from holding water.

Ensure a working drainage system.

Our drainage should be in good working condition to keep water from getting stored or stagnating in our premises.

Empty any container that can hold stagnant water

All objects that can potentially serve as a vessel for holding stagnant water should be emptied to prevent it from becoming breeding grounds of a mosquito. This included water buckets, flower pots, kiddie pools, bird baths, wading pools, wheel burrows, and the like.

Dispose of items that can collect water

There are various items in our garage or yard that can collect water. You should declutter your yard and dispose of these items.

Chief of which are old tires, old buckets/ pails, barrels old barbecue grills, flower pots, cans, bottles, car parts, shelves and other things.

Furniture like old sofas, bed, and futon can be soaked or damped with water and can equally become breeding grounds for mosquitoes and larvae.

Repair leaky faucets and pipes

Apart from clearing or disposing collectors of water, having complete control and well maintained water system in our house can help prevent mosquito breeding. Aside from the rain, the next common sources of water in our house are faucets and pipes. Leaks in our pipes and faucets can pool into puddles or turns in our garage, driveway, yard other areas. We should also ensure that our cisterns and septic tanks are well maintained.

Include mosquito-repelling plants in your garden. Another way to ward of mosquito and prevent mosquito breeding is by planting marigolds, citronella, catnip, lavender or lemon balm in your yard. These plants emit scents that naturally repels a mosquito. Imagine how effective if you have a pest control program and these added prevention methods to your home.
